Review on Starrett 505P 7 Miter Saw Protractor by Ulysses Fincher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Must have tools but beware of fakes!

I used this little tool to install a baseboard in my house. A must have tool for the job and $30 well spent. However, beware of fakes. To avoid counterfeiting, order the Starrett miter protractor only from Revain Services. The easiest way to find out if yours is real is to engrave the numbers on the dial. Fakes have it printed on the dial. I almost didn't buy this tool because all the bad reviews about Revain said it wasn't accurate. Then I read a review (with pictures) on how to spot a fake and definitely order the one Revain did. There are a number of different sellers offering this item at discounts of up to 50%. Don't give in to temptation. Just spend 5-15$ more. This is truly a professional tool for determining bevel angles and the true angle of inside and outside corners.

Pros
  • Hard wearing finish
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
